Medicine

Benefit from the experience of our Summer program and the tailor-made elective in the beautiful Prague in the Heart of Europe.
The Summer Program on Medicine offers a vast range of lectures and also internships to choose from. We aim to develop students at a professional and personal level by focusing on the needs of each individual student.

This year’s program will take place from 9th July until 17th August 2018 in Prague

With research in medicine moving at tremendous speed, how can students keep their knowledge up to date? How often do medical students hear that they will understand the medical world and learn the most only after they enter the real world?

It is no secret that out of all areas of education medicine is the most challenging. Universities can never convey all information and often young professionals find that the biggest struggles still await them.

What is our approach?Here is how ECCE Summer Program works.

The Medical Program and Main topics

The medicine program includes:

Spend 6 weeks in beautiful Prague

3 weeks lecture based days where local and worldwide specialists will present their expertise

Bridge difficulties mentioned above in the professional world to teach young medical students how to approach them through theory as well as practical

To offer a vast range of lectures and also tailor-made internships to choose from

Broaden students' knowledge on the latest worldwide trends in selected areas of medicine. It covers fields and information which expand beyond the extent of tuition generally provided at Medical Universities, but topics of importance for the future practice of the candidates.

ECCE aims to provide its graduates with an extra advantage among their colleagues by standing out from the crowd in order to have an advantage in the job market

Who are the lecturers?

The first three weeks consist of lectures given by world-renowned experts as well as representatives from leading companies both in the Czech Republic and worldwide such as:
